Product Overview
This high-purity aluminum wire is engineered for demanding laboratory applications where minimal impurities and consistent performance are critical. With a 99.999% purity level (metals basis) and annealed for enhanced flexibility, it ensures reliable results in electrical conductivity tests, material science research, and other precision-based experiments. The 0.5mm (0.02in) diameter provides a balance between durability and ease of handling, making it suitable for intricate setups. The Puratronic™ grade guarantees ultra-low trace element contamination, ensuring accuracy in sensitive measurements. Whether used in wire bonding, sample preparation, or as a reference material, this aluminum wire maintains structural integrity under varying conditions. Its uniform composition and smooth surface minimize variability, making it a trusted choice for researchers and educators who require high-quality materials for reproducible results.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between annealed and non-annealed aluminum wire?
Annealed aluminum wire undergoes a heat treatment process to increase ductility and reduce hardness, making it more flexible and easier to work with in lab applications.
2. Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications?
While aluminum has a relatively low melting point (~660°C), this wire is suitable for moderate-temperature experiments but may not be ideal for extreme heat conditions.
3. Is this wire compatible with standard lab connectors?
Yes, the 0.5mm diameter is designed to fit most standard lab connectors and terminals used in electrical and material testing setups.
4. How should this wire be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a dry, sealed container away from moisture and corrosive chemicals to prevent oxidation and contamination.
5. What alternatives are available if I need a thicker or thinner wire?
For thicker options, consider aluminum rods or bars, while thinner gauges (e.g., 0.25mm) may be available for specialized applications.
